“Fortinet and TNP have been our network security partners for many years. As the threats have continued to evolve we have found the Fortinet products have helped us to quickly adapt and meet new challenges. The fact that all Fortinet solutions talk to each other to quickly identify and block an attack saves us significant time and resources, as well as enabling a faster response. This approach is now more important than ever as we increasingly see more sophisticated and automated attacks”

Blackpool Council

A town of nearly 150,000 people, Blackpool is a well- known holiday resort in North West England, and the largest after Manchester and Liverpool. Blackpool Council provides network services for most of the state schools and public libraries in the area, as well as for a multitude of its own office sites. The challenges Blackpool Council faced were threefold; build defenses to combat an increasingly changing threat landscape, drive efficiencies due to school budget cuts, and safeguard citizens under the new Prevent guidelines
